Hei! Er det denne familien du mener?Lenke Hvor emigrerte de fra? Det er alltid en fordel å se emigrasjonen slik den er skrevet.

På Minnesota Death Index:http://people.mnhs.org/dcifinner jeg 2 interessante Stark Starkson. det saliggjørende må være å spandere på 8 dollar pr. stk, og bestille inn dødsattester.Laila

I think that Ruskf. might be Rushford, Minnesota, which is a town in Fillmore county, a place where there were MANY Norwegians.You could try contacting the Fillmore County Historical society.FILLMORE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Mailing Address: 202 County Road #8Fountain, MN 55935 telephone: 507/268-4449 FAX: 507-268-4492 Email: fillmorehistory@earthlink.net Director: Jerry Henke[url="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnfillmo/society.htm>http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnfillmo/society.htmUsually if they knew where they were going, they had relatives or friends already there. So someone they knew probably already lived in Rushford. But by 1883, all of the farm land in Rushford was taken up by earlier immigrants, so they probably had to move on to another place.On the Minnesota Death index, as Laila said, there are two Stark Starksons that are worth looking at. I think the first one, who died in St. Louis County (which is the area of Minnesota in the north that includes cities like Duluth and Hibbing, and lots of small towns) I think he might be a good match. I found a Caroline Starkson also died there. (I tried other spellings, but this was the only good match)These are from the Minnesota Death index.STARKSON, STARK CertID# 1918-MN-032415 Date of Birth: not indexed Place of Birth:not indexed Mother Maiden Name:not indexed Date of Death: 07/28/1918 County of Death: ST. LOUISSTARKSON, MRS CAROLINA CertID# 1923-MN-026045 Date of Birth:not indexed Place of Birth:not indexed Mother Maiden Name: not indexed Date of Death: 01/28/1923 County of Death: ST.

I found that on this page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnstloui/190024s6.htmMaybe there is an obituary in the newspaper that you could get from the St. Louis County historical society?ST.
